    Benefits

    Fast deployment time with less risk

    RulesManager allows you to configure Maximo faster

    faster rule writing, faster testing, faster deployments. Whenever the rule writer is finished writing the rule orseveral rules in combination, they then simply click thepublish button in the editor. The rules are sent back to theMaximo server and the new rules are instantly in place. Norestart of the web server, no redeployment or modificationto the EAR files and no system reboots are required. A usercan keep a Maximo page in a browser, modify a rule in theeditor, publish and simply refresh in the browser to test therule. In this way, rules can be tweaked and modified easilyto reach the desired result. The development time savingsare immense.

    Reduced Risk

    This capability greatly reduces the risk of configuring yourMaximo system compared to how you would have tomodify Maximo without Rulesmanager by extending thejava classes or creating triggers. Imagine the hundreds ofextended java classes that would have to be moved fromdevelopment to testing to production, with the risk of notcopying all of them or not copying all of them correctlyeach time. With RulesManager, you write rules and sendto production services in a single file.

    RulesManager sits completely on the outside of Maximo

    and never alters the base code.

    Take your rules with you when you upgrade

    Rules written today are guaranteed to work from today

    forward. Any rule written in any version of RulesManager(from Maximo version 5.1) will function with any version ofMaximo going forward. Customers who have written rulesas far back as Maximo 5.1 are today deploying the exactrules files in Maximo 7.1. This demonstrates the long-termmaintenance costs savings.
